Annie Mercer's life seems to be falling apart. She was fired from her job as a chemist after breaking equipment in an attempt to avoid sexual advances from her boss. And just days later, her fiance, Jon, has left for a spur-of-the-moment month-long trip to France — and not only did he go without her, he asked her not to contact him for the whole time he's gone. So Annie has gone into cocoon mode, living with her mother, determined to avoid people she doesn't already know. Of course, that plan is derailed when an Instagram influencer moves in next door, and a creepy guy starts staking out the neighborhood.
Told through Annie's emails, journal entries, and the neighborhood listserv, this is an enjoyable story of modern relationships of all sorts, as well as a story of a woman figuring out her life when everything she's relied upon is swept out from under her. It's smart and funny, and I enjoyed seeing Annie grow up through her experiences.
